I have a Frenchie. He would cry and cry and have a nervous breakdown if someone came in the house and didn’t let him out.

Yep. Finally spent some money on those. They’re great.

You’ve paid for the view and/or natural light. My husband and I have arguments constantly about closing the blinds. I don’t mind opening them during the day when the angle of the sun against the glass makes it hard for people to see in, but even then, I frequently don’t have the blinds all the way open. (And even…

As a white woman, I’m gonna say that I don’t understand this shit AT ALL. I follow service people in my house that I don’t know like a fucking hawk. It took me six months of having the same cleaning people before I felt okay not periodically checking on them (using my “oops, my dog really wanted to come and see you…

I’m not a Luddite - I worked in the Internet industry for over a decade. But I don’t even want a god-damn Amazon Echo in the house, because I don’t want Amazon listening in to my life.

Renee Zellweger, who proved her considerable pipes as Roxie Hart in 2002 Best Picture winner Chicago, will play Garland.

I felt so bad for those kids and their family yesterday. If that was legit, it’s scary as hell. (I had a stalker in college, so I get that on a very personal level.)

If I found out my brother had been raping his step-children? The necessity of him going on trial wouldn’t be there. I’d be on trial for murder, or at least an assault so grievous he was in a coma, never to wake up. (If my mother was still alive, she would work him over systematically. You do not fuck with a woman who…

I do not understand anyone who can rape a child, and then essentially assault another child to hide the fact. It’s indefensible and loathsome.

Yep. Swamp totally drained. Like the way the beach goes out before a tsunami...

Wearing a bow tie and suit and holding a yellow, star-shaped toy,

“I don’t have 10 horses either,” he said. “Don’t people get in arguments on Facebook all the time?”

Child of the 70's/80's myself. We can be grumps in the corner over here if you like.
